A Chance to Win and 5 TIPS!
How about a little more fun with Double Wedding Ring?
And a chance to win the shape collection? OR a $40 Inklingo Gift Certificate?
You don’t have to be an expert quilter with a ton of patience to sew DWR anymore. Just print the shapes on fabric with Inklingo!
Today there are more Double Wedding Ring Quilt designs to inspire you and 5 tips to help you sew one.
This design has arcs with 8 pieces (plus ends). Impressive!
TIP 1 Use the unique pressing guide in the Double Wedding Ring Design Book to press the seams in the right direction—and to check the size of the arcs!
This is the same design with a few little tweaks. Approx 52 x 52 inches.
ON-POINT SETTINGS
For me, the real magic happens when the blocks are turned on point.
This design is about 72 x 72. Wouldn’t it look lovely on a bed with another row of DWR all the way around (96 x 96)?
TIP 2 Use the worksheets in the Double Wedding Ring Design Book OR the Double Wedding Ring Electric Quilt project file to find the finished size of your design.
Double Wedding Ring Quilts with an on-point design can be finished with a straight edge.
TIP 3 This half center is provided in two Inklingo layouts to print on fabric. Print the one with straight grain on the long side if you are using it on the outside edge of the quilt.
On-point with a medallion effect. Having a variety of centers with appropriate straight grain makes it possible.
This one uses the half center with straight grain on the long side.
TIP 4 You can put a Double Wedding Ring Border on any quilt! Had you thought of that?
All of the arcs in this one are identical, but . . .
. . .you can use more than one kind of arc in each quilt. So many choices!
I went with Russ to Niagara Falls NY yesterday to mail book orders. It was the perfect day to walk in Niagara-on-the-Lake too—without the weekend crowds. The spring flowers and blossoms are glorious right now. I came home inspired to try one more design.
I’ll call this one Blossoms in Niagara on the Lake.
If you compare these designs with those in the two previous messages, you will see why I love on-point settings so much.
TIP 5 You can have 7 pieces (plus ends) in each arc by using two different sizes. That’s what I did for my blossoms design.

My printer dropped dead the day before I found Inklingo I don’t know if I should run out and spend money on a new printer or spend the money on the DWR Lol
Thanks for your wonderful designs Nancy in California

Dear Linda and Monkey,
I am so so anxious to try Inklingo. I’m always up for a new challange and this looks so easy, fun & rewarding. Then I can show it to all my Quilty friends and we can ALL have more fun with it than a “barrel of monkeys”. The fun is in the sharing!

I sure would like to try some of the different styles.
i am just so impressed. I have never seen so many variations. Love,love these.
I love the Double Wedding Ring quilt patterns. Wish I had chosen that pattern to make for the mug rug exchange. One ring would have been perfect……..I still may use it. 😉
Sue
I love all the options you have designed with the wedding ring quilt that I have always loved. I never dreamed of doing these variations to that design. Thanks for all your hard work and imagination.
The double-wedding ring collection is one of the few I don’t have so I hope I win. If not I’ll probably get it when I’m ready to start this quilt after I decide which layout. Decisions, decisions, decisions. So many choices, so little time. I love Inklingo.
This is a quilt I have always wanted to do, but as a new-er quilter felt a intimidated. In fact I’m so inspired I can hardly wait! Thank you so much for the chance to win! God bless your day!
Double wedding ring is my favorite quilt. I am just beginning to get familiar with Inklingo. It would be awesome to get this shape collection.
I love love love Inklingo! I’ m still very new at this. I love all the support. I will recommend this to all my friends. Thank you Linda for all your inspiration.
Sherrie
Some day I will make the double-wedding ring quilt, maybe sooner than later if I win? Thank you for the cool variations.
I would like to make this quilt but I always felt it was too hard.I would like to try it with your method.
Well, a DWR is on my bucket list, and this would be the perfect way to start. Hope I win, but if not, I may just purchase the set. Thanks for the give-away option.
I’m an Inklingo subscriber. 🙂
Wedding Ring quilts are something I’ve always loved, but they seemed so intimidating! I think they’d be a lot easier with Inklingo so I’d be thrilled to be the lucky winner. Thank you for the chance to win. 🙂
Driveway Barb is your biggest promoter and she’s why I’m here. I’m entering because I need to make a DWR for my son and his bride of two years.
Here’s hoping
Vicky
I have often looked at this beautiful pattern, but is not practiced enough. Now I have found your blog and “inklingo”, now I think it should be tested – is somewhat in doubt whether it is as easy as it looks? I try……….
Thanks for the nice giveaway – a gotta win, allowed to be myself, otherwise congrautulations to the lucky.
I have always been scared to try a double wedding ring. But, as easy as inklingo has made piecing my “insanity” quilt, it should make the dwr quilt easy too! Thanks for all you do Linda!
i was at a quilt retreat over the weekend and i had my inklingo project with pieces, book, and printout waiting to be cutout. by the time the weekend was over, the ladies at the retreat were very impressed and were eager to visit the site and try it for themselves. they were calling themselves ‘inklingoists’. i just wish i had more time to get all the project i have in mind done! Thanx Linda & Monkey!!!
What an incredibly clever idea to make quilting easier. I might even be willing to try a wedding quilt pattern with this kind of help!
I would love to do a double wedding ring quilt in Inklingo. I hope I win!
Thanks,
Susan in Texas
After just finishing a small paper-pieced project, I vowed never to do it again! Inklingo makes so much more sense. Thank you for developing the DWR designs. Your videos and instructions are so clear. Hugs to you and Monkey!
I love double wedding ring is my all time favorite. Doing inklingo way should be fun n easier thanks for all your great way to sew quilts. Thanks Linda

I love the double wedding ring but I have never made the pieced arc because of the challenging piecing. I also love pickle dish and would love to make one of those. This looks pretty interesting- Thanks for the chance to win your materials.

I’ve always wanted to try a DWR and I think I would really like this method. I’m really intrigued by this product.
Love your ideas about the double wedding ring. I think I must buy them.
Cheers,
addicted little me
I think you have invented a wonderful tool for quilters! I have always wanted to Make a Double Wedding Ring Quilt, but I am very intimidated by all the small pieces. I think I will have to try your product, catch up on my other projects and then start my first DWR quilt.
Thank you for the opportunity to enter your awesome giveaway!
I would love to win this giveaway. I’d like to give Inklingo a try!

Thanks for the chance to win a DWR-Inklingo.
Wow … 256 replies already. Do I still have a chance ? hihihi …
I would love to win this design, never made a weddingring quilt before, but i started last weekend the quilted diamonds and posted today the first two blocks. Wonderful to work on these !!
I just needed a little push to get started on a Double Wedding Ring Quilt…..:)
Dear Linda,
As a child I had a double wedding ring quilt on my bed made by my aunt Rowena. She was a fabulous quilter and awesome farmers wife. She inspired my love of quilting. I have always felt DWR was over my skill level, but with Inklingo I want to go for it. Thanks for all your help and inspiration.
Linda, you have show us so many beautiful options. How will we ever choose. DWR is my favorite quilt. Thanks for your designs.
This stuff looks really cool. I’m always looking for “take it along” projects. Carolyn
Wow, I just discovered Inklingo ! How cool is this. I adore DWR quilts and own one my great grandmother made for me. It would really be wonderful if I could make one for my one and only grandaughter, born last August.
Thanks for a wonderful site.
I have always wanted to make a Double Wedding Ring quilt. Maybe with this I actually will. Thank you for the inspiration.
